Great to see this. And I'm not surprised at yet another evaluation that underscores just how important the #PDB is. @rcsbpdb.bsky.social
In this evaluation of AlphaFold3 (and other methods), we show that (i) accurate predictions are limited to RNA structures/complexes with structural similarity to PDB and (ii) that current methods are bad at estimating the accuracy of the predictions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Limits of deep-learning-based RNA prediction methods
Motivation: In recent years, tremendous advances have been made in predicting protein structures and protein-protein interactions. However, progress in predicting the structure of RNA, either alone or...

Absolutely this. And also cite the software you are using!!! The only way they can justify getting funding to maintain it is to demonstrate usage by the community
Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.
